I then reference this thread and the guy who had to chug some to prove to his gf it was apple juice and completely ignore the fact that up to quite recently I still had 2 piss bottles (euro site grinder)

thinly veiled brag about talking to girls, IMO.

Anyway, I get involved in the last hand before break and find myself in line behind 30 people or so waiting to use the restroom. Seeing how the line isn't moving very fast, I decide to strike up a conversation with a rather large, younger player who was in front of me. I say something like, "man, this line is crazy," or whatever, and he replies, "yeah, it's pretty standard." Not thinking anything of it, I go, "how's your table treating you?" His reply: "it's pretty standard." Now I start facepalm.jpeg-ing in my mind, and want to see if this clown is really going to say it again. So I thought of the first thing I could think of, I don't remember what it was, maybe something about the weather, and he goes "yeah, it's pretty standard." I'm pretty sure poker had a solid grip on that dude's life...

Villain's answers are pretty standard though.

When you sit in your car in the local shopping centre carpark, with your laptop. And your wife thinks your at work. And losing your roll because you're drinking in your car because your life sucks and is consumed by mtts and sngs. Fml

Whenever there's an adverse coincidence e.g. the traffic light going orange before you can make it through, you blame it on "***** variance"

FYP, Jean. Stop being so effing French, not being a native speaker is no excuse for coming up with decent lines 48 hours later at best.

When you come back to this thread almost every day for a month hoping for an update but you don't update yourself because most of your surefire signs have already been posted... but you notice that it goes deeper and deeper. And you think about normal every day things too much.

Whenever something ****ty/bad happens or someone mentions an awkward situation I've recently started responding with nothing more than, "standard".

However last night, after grinding pretty solid for a few days, I went out clubbing with mates. Whenever I saw a female, my brain would randomly conjure up a hand based on her looks, ****ing tonne of 26s.

Basically being that although they weren't that attractive, I may still be able to flop and straight, and get laid.

This is currently where Im at right now. Been a couple of months now. Miss them, but for now at least it feels great to be playing great poker and banking some money having fun.

Reading through this again for the first time, such an excellent thread, lost count how much of these I think/do.

When you think about HU PLO while you're having sex with your girlfriend. I would go hard and fast when imagining myself 3/4 betting pre and re raising flops and I'd slow down when imagining myself check calling flops. Near the end I pictured myself being dealt AAQJss and 4 betting pre, hitting a KJ10ss flop. Villain checks, I bet, he raises, I pot it and all the money goes in. I yell "GOTCHA!!!" and I blow my load.

Obv I held but if it played out on Stars I'd be up against KKxx and villain would snap turn a boat.
